A lot can be learned from the whole President Obama - Donald Trump birth certificate ordeal. To recap; There have long been conspiracy theorists that speculate that President Obama was not born on US soil an was therefore never eligible to run for President in the first place. They remained just that, conspiracy theories until Donald Trump decided to champion the "Obama ain't American" campaign. He spoke out publicly demanding that Obama provide proof that he was indeed born on US soil. The story slow gained attention until this week when Obama has the state of Hawaii release his birth certificate. Obama had remained relatively tight lipped about the situation until this week. The following is a video clip from the White House Correspondent's dinner last night.
Now before I continue, I have to tip my hat to President Obama and whoever helped him put this whole piece together. This was some funny shit. Not included was his entrance to "I'm a real American" (The Hulk Hogan theme music for those that don't know.) The lion King part was cute, but it really got funny when he started taking shots at Donald Trump. It takes alot of balls to unrelentingly shit on someone while they are in the audience. Trump clearly didn't find it funny at all, in fact he looked a little embrassed, and rightfully so. I think maybe the next person will think twice before the go running their mouth about Obama think he won't respond.
Which brings me too my main point. He responded. Over 5 mins of national airtime spent talking about bullshit. Barack Obama is the president of the United States, arguably the most powerful man on the planet. Who is Donald Trump? My 11 year old nephew had no idea who he was. Why waste the time and energy on a washed up real estate agent with a bad hair-do? Obama responding to Trump validates him. Had he completely ignored him the people would have as well. The Boss doesn't worry about what the kid in the mail room thinks. This just gives the next loser motivation to say something slick about the President knowing he takes on all comers, be them worthy or not. While it was funny as hell, I give Obama a C- on his handling of this situation.
well Shawn I am quite surprise at you to get the president a C- I believed he did the right think and it needed to be said your right the boss doest worry about the kid in the mail room but doesn't mean that the mail kid can talk shit and it wont be heard up stair. This is a issue that has been going on seen he was running for president in the first place not talking is just as bad as not saying anything at all
ReplyDeleteI think Obama was quiet and shoved as much shit under the carpet as possible. I think he needed to flip and turn it into a joke to ultimately say to Trump STFU and sit yo ass down. The kid in the mail may just be that but he has a huge following. So something needed to be said on some degree. Especially when Trump announces how proud he was of himself to bringing Obama to his knees type shit like he won a prize. So Obama needed to take back control of that lil mailroom department and just be like just chill... U really dont hold any weight!! --CAM
